A surge in new datacenters, each with the power demand of 100,000 households and a cooling water demand of 1,000,000 m³ per year to train AI models on material obtained without consent on hardware now unaffordable to consumers so fascism-adjacent tech billionaires can sell us the idea that any skill is now worthless and in doing so creating the largest economic bubble ever while simultaneously destroying society and environment.
I think that about sums it up.
And that leaves France with ZERO international night trains. None. Aucun.
👏 Well done SNCF and the French Government
🤨
Americans are getting ripped off.
In Austria, an *annual* pass that gives you access to all transit and intercity trains is just $1,340. Total mobility, for $110 a month. Similar passes exist in #Germany + #Switzerland.
Das ganze Konzept "Autoverkehr" wäre im industriellen Umfeld nicht zulässig.
Probier mal eine Betriebserlaubnis für folgende Fabrik zu bekommen:
- Hier fahren tonnenschwere, menschengelenkte Werkstückträger rum, mit frei wählbarer Geschwindigkeit
- Die Fahrer*innen haben vor etlichen Jahren eine Prüfung gemacht, weitere Schulungen oder Checks existieren nicht.
- Hier laufen auch Kinder, Senioren, Betrunkene und Haustiere frei rum
- Alle teilen sich die Flächen
- Ab und zu stirbt leider jemand
anyway, "world standards day", to celebrate international standards, was on october the 14th
unless you're in america, in which case it's next week, the 14th of november
